Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present


Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

June 1977 Roundhouse Gigs Announced (New Musical Express 21st May 1977)

 

NME announced in its pages of its 21st May 1977 edition the band's double event to take place on 26th June 1977. One of the two gigs can be found here, whilst Barry Cain's Record Mirror review is here. The news item goes on to report that elsewhere in the country this most 'undesirable' of bands were experiencing the frustration of gig cancelations as paranoia concering all things p**k rock reached silly proportions.
